  Showed up after the buffet had closed so we ordered normally. The management served us, aided in our ordering, and was kind and courteous. Food came out nice and quick, and afterwards we were given free dessert and extra fortune cookies, which was great. The cost comparable to the buffet, was fresher than buffet fare, and we had leftovers... I'll still come back for the buffet though ;p

  This is an overdue review. My whole family used to like going to this restaurant for the buffet fairly regularly many years ago since it used to be really quite good. Recently my partner and I were craving chinese food and decided to go back here as it'd been so long, several years since my last visit. Unfortunately we were sorely disappointed. We arrived to eat around 7pm on a Tuesday, which is still 4 hours before they close, so you'd expect fresh the food to still be fresh. However, the buffet food was overcooked and dried out from sitting under the lamps for far too long (my guess is many hours), the selection was not hot enough and it honestly seemed like yesterdays leftovers had been warmed up and recycled. There was little to no table service so when we were finished, we went up to the front desk to pay. We had both decided since it was a self-serve buffet and the table service was non-existent, that a tip was not in order. The front desk manager saw that we had not added a tip when we paid and was not at all impressed - his stern words were as follows, "Were you not happy with your food and service? Do you know it is customary to leave a tip?". To which we replied, "the buffet is self-serve, the food was only mediocre, and there was no service - therefore there is no need for a tip.". As we turned and walked out the door he was shouting something but we ignored him. Suffice to say, we will never be returning to New Dynasty since the food has gone downhill, they expect to be tipped even if they're providing no personal service (I don't consider occasional buffet restocking a personal service), plus the mouthy manager was the icing on the cake. There are far, far better places to spend your money in this city. You've been warned.

  Went here for dinner one evening and as soon as we walked in we were rushed to a table and left. Which is the usual at a buffet so I didn't mind much but I wanted a drink so we waited a while until they came back. The waiter who came to get us drinks was super rude. When i asked for tea he walked away. So i wasn't sure if he was going to bring it or not. After we eventually got our drinks we went to get food.... and it was all old. None of it was warm. so we grabbed a little and went to sit down and wait until the brought more out. We were there waiting for about 45 minutes and no fresh food was brought out. This was at like 6:30 in the evening so it wasn't late, it wasn't like they were closing soon. Just an annoying experience.

  They have one of the best buffets that I have ever eaten at. Not because of their many dishes but that each and every dish I tasted was cooked to perfection. It was very reasonably priced as well.
